Electrical/lighting question (yes, I searched)

Hey guys,

Ok, so here's what's up:

I was coming home from work tonight (8pm) and figured I'd throw on my running lights so others could see me, and my instrument panel/gauges would be easier to read. One click up, no gauge back lights, in either my dash or pods. Odd, I click up again to headlights, still nothing.

I figure whatever, I'll figure it out when I get home, then switch back to running lights. As I'm pulling out of my space I notice that I can't see my running lights reflecting off the paint on the car next to me.

Not cool.

I pull back into the space and get out to inspect the car, no lights anywhere, when I turn on my headlights (they still work, thankfully) the running lights still don't come on.. lovely.

I figure it's just a fuse that has gone out, since it includes everything and it happened so suddenly.

What do you guru's think? And where is the fuse box for the lights located at??

Thanks,

Levi

This would mean you have blown several fuses at the same time.
A groundwire problem is more likely.
Or maybe the plug in the steering column just got disconnected from the lightswitch stalk thing.
